Building Cooperation: Cyber, Critical Technology and National Security
Like-minded states such as Australia, India, the United States, and Japan should cooperate and coordinate multilateral responses against grey-zone tactics, including cyberattacks. This paper argues that the protection of critical technology, intellectual property, and data from theft or acquisition by a rival state is imperative. It offers perspectives on Japan’s approach to cyber security and critical technologies, including challenges to cooperating with allied democratic states, China’s cyber warfare and Japan’s response to it, and suggests recommendations for the QTN in attenuating cyber warfare and securing global cyber space.
